¨ Do not use a field number more than once per format.

¨ Define all fields in the order you want to image/print them. The printer

does not print in field number order.

¨ Separate all parameters with a Parameter Separator (,).

¨ End each field with a Field Separator (

p ).

¨ Enter all information in CAPITAL letters, except words or phrases within

quotation marks.

¨ Include all parameters for a field unless documented as optional.

¨ Define options immediately after the field to which they apply.

¨ Multiple options can be used with most fields. Options can be used in

any combination except as noted with each definition. Options are
processed in the order they are received.

¨ Keep in mind that proportionally spaced fonts need wider fields than

monospaced fonts. For variable field data, use a letter “W” to determine
the maximum field size.

¨ Do not place a new line (return) or any other non-printing character

within a field definition. However, a carriage return or line break after
each

p makes your formats easier to read.

¨ Use a tilde (~) followed by a 3-digit ASCII code in a quoted string to

send function codes or extended characters or send the 8-bit ASCII
code.

You can modify formats and fields with the optional entry method. See
“Optional Entry Method” in Chapter 6 for more information.
